Just like you, our Horticulture team loves to talk about plants!

Bring your sense of wonder and join our staff on an informative, 75-minute tour through the gardens at the Arboretum. A different garden will be featured each month, highlighting the beauty of our plant collections throughout the season, as well as new projects supporting our mission. After the tour, enjoy light refreshments and conversation with fellow plant-lovers before heading home to work in your own garden. Horticulture & Collections staff will be on hand during the refreshments to answer any gardening questions you have.
